Palermo Race 10

5F Stakes

Prize Money: $16,875

EL EPECUEN (1) returns from a break of 9 weeks. He was a consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a third over 1000m at San Isidro. Goes well when fresh, including two wins. One of the leading players. LE CORNETTE (2) was last at the races when he finished second over 1000m in the G1 Felix de Alzaga Unzue Internacional at San Isidro on December 13. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Gerardo Alteño. Hard to beat in this BAILARIN DE VENECIA (5) returns after a spell of nine weeks. Looking to emulate his win at this track to kick off the last campaign. Has found a suitable race and is worth including. AIRES DE GLORIA (4) bounced back last start and landed the prize by 7 lengths over 1000m at this track. Meeting a tougher field, but he can measure up..
